Klimt Artworks for Auction

Fans of Art Nouveau have the chance to pick up their very own Klimt painting - and what a way to decorate one's home. Four of the Austrian artist's works will be up for auction at Christies.

Reuters reports:

"A Jewish woman who went to court to win back five Gustav Klimt paintings taken from her ancestors by the Nazis will sell the remaining works from her collection after the first fetched a record $135 million.

U.S.-based Maria Altmann... had decided to part with the works, which had a combined value estimated at between $100 million and $150 million, Christie's auctioneers said on Monday."

The set of four paintings includes one of Klimt's most famous - The Kiss (pictured), a controversial painting in his time, but admired to this day.

Mischa Barton Promotes Australian Fashion

Breakfast at Tiffany's Givenchy Gown For Sale

For many people, the name Audrey Hepburn causes one iconic image to spring to mind: Audrey, as the capricious Holly Golightly, having breakfast at Tiffany's in pearls and a black Givenchy gown.

Now, that very dress that featured in the classic 1961 film is going up for auction. Expected to fetch up to ?70,000, or $130,000 USD, the proceeds of the sale will go to the City of Joy - a charity which helps needy children in Calcutta.

The auction will take place at Christie's on December 5 - anyone fancy a little black dress for Christmas?

Discuss the movie and its iconic fashions in the Breakfast at Tiffany's forum thread.

Paul Smith's Rose

Designer Sir Paul Smith now has a rose named after him. The rose was unveiled at the Chelsea Flower Show this week, as a surprise birthday present from his wife. The pink climbing rose apparently took three years to develop.

Her gift seems particularly appropriate given the pretty florals which Paul Smith so often uses as a basis for his clothing and accessories; be they for men or women. When spring-time rolls around we're bound to see more. In the meantime, there are plenty of pretty floral Paul Smith accessories available...

How Not To Be Rogue - Paris Hilton and Brandon Davis

We're always trying to find things that are rogue, but when this landed in our inboxes this morning we couldn't help but view it as a prime example of how not to be rogue.

Brandon Davis (and by proxy, Paris Hilton) enjoyed a night on the town, and after a tad too much alcohol consumption decided to tell the waiting paparazzi exactly what he thought of Lindsay Lohan.

It's one thing to have money (or your dad's) - but it's another to have poor taste, and a truly bad sense of humour. Brandon Davis proves himself not to be rogue.
